To be honest, smarphones and tablets are already very boring. Wouldn't it be more interesting to come up with “the next big thing” instead?

Maybe we should forget about devices and operating systems. Presume that everyone already has the devices they want, mobiles, tablets, ultrabooks, laptops, workstations. Instead think about how, on these platforms, you'd like to have your data organised and presented. How your data interacts with other data, how it's processed by services, how those services are organised. We should be able to presume that whether you own a device, or are a guest on someone elses', that you should be presented with your data how you want it.

There's 70+ positions available for Tizen work at Samsung here in Warsaw.

This might sound a bit heretic, but what if you could stuff your UX experience (reusing a bit of middleware, but not all the privacy invading **** and with no UX) on top of any Android hardware out there with less than 1 day worth of porting effort?
.. Except it would require not using a Mer-based (or for that matter any GNU/Linux) OS and leaving your favourite technologies behind, for the easier spreading.
That'd be a lot easier, wouldn't it?
What matters more? glibc/systemd; or control over the experiences that is the thing you actually touch; spread easily across the world to everybody?

However... what happened to the concept of a mobile computer? That the N95 and later the N900 tried to be?

It's also expensive to maintain an entire linux/glibc distribution like Mer, Sailfish, Ubuntu, etc. When all we are really interested in, is being able to change the way people use things, the big game changer in the computing space.
Though, if you want to use vim/emacs, screen/irssi, Debian/Fedora/SuSe installations, heavy package managers and big applications. We can chroot these things. They don't require things like, sensor integration, etc.

How much are we decapitating here? Launcher replacements are ten a penny but no matter what nice ideas you see in launchers, you end up with Android apps and material design still rearing it's cheery but ultimately simplistic head.
How much of Android can we keep low down and still have a completely different UI?

All times are GMT. The time now is 11:15.
I define "control" as customization, more than privacy. No one cares (it seems) if the manufacturer collects all the information on your device every second, as long as there's "that checkbox to disable it" and a minimal assurance the checkbox actually works. i.e. no superfish-like scandals.
Few people will care further than that. And this subset of people basically includes all OSS-fanatics. Definitely not "disruption" fans; more like the opposite.
